"Observation overnight peaked our interest a few times, but nothing to report just yet," the zoo posted in its Facebook update Monday morning. "No pressure April the Giraffe, but April the month isn't far away!"

More than 75,000 people were tuned into the stream by 7:20 a.m. Monday. April appeared to be in good spirits as she was wagged her tail and wiggled her ears. By 1 p.m., more than 134,000 people were watching; April granted her adorers with a prolonged gaze at the camera before turning back to lunch.

April's pregnancy was catapulted into global headlines late last month after YouTube briefly yanked the zoo's stream following complaints by animal activists that it violated the site's policies concerning "nudity and sexual content." Thousands upon thousands of commenters voiced their frustration on Facebook and YouTube, and the stream was restored within an hour or so.

Jordan Patch, owner of the Animal Adventure Park, says the natural curiosity surrounding giraffes and their birthing process has been a huge factor in drawing crowds.

"I think the fact that she's a giraffe and she's a neat species that people are interested in, that's fostered a lot of the attention," he said. "The fact that you're gonna get to witness the miracle of birth from an animal that you really don't get to see give birth — that's neat."

He added that April's pregnancy is not just live entertainment, but a teachable moment and source for education.

Giraffe pregnancies last up to 15 months. Labor lasts anywhere from a few hours to a few days. The calf, which will be the first born at Animal Adventure Park, will be about 150 pounds and 6 feet tall at birth and up and walking in about an hour.

The zoo said it will hold an online competition to name the baby giraffe once it's born.
